Krish Abbott · Answer 1

Option (c).

Explanation:

Proteins are the main building block of the organism's body. The enzymes, clotting factors and antibodies are all made up of proteins. Proteins are the polymers of the amino acids.

Proteins consists of both the polar and non-polar groups. The nonpolar groups tend to face inside the protein in an aqueous solution so that proteins gets stable in this environment.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
